Storage advice

For optimal storage of Nordic Dry Gin consider these practical guidelines focused on preserving quality and shelf life:

- Temperature: Store the gin in a cool environment ideally between 15°C to 20°C (59°F to 68°F). Avoid temperature fluctuations and exposure to heat sources which can degrade flavors. Refrigeration is optional; it won’t necessarily prolong shelf life but can be used if you prefer serving it chilled.

- Light Exposure: Keep the bottle away from direct sunlight and strong artificial light. Light can accelerate flavor deterioration so a dark cupboard or a shelf in a dim corner is best.

- Sealing: Ensure the bottle is always tightly sealed. A secure cap limits oxidation and evaporation which can negatively alter the taste over time.

- Bottle Position: Store the bottle upright especially if it has a natural cork. Laying it on its side risks alcohol degrading the cork potentially affecting flavor. Artificial screw caps do not require special positioning.

- Humidity: Maintain moderate humidity to avoid label damage or cork drying if applicable. Typical indoor humidity levels (40-60%) are sufficient; extreme humidity conditions are not necessary.

- Special Tips for Opened Bottles: Once opened gin undergoes slow oxidation that can impact flavor after about a year. To minimize this:

- Keep the bottle tightly closed.

- Store it in a cool dark place.

- Consider transferring remaining gin to a smaller bottle to reduce air contact if the bottle is half-empty.

These practices ensure the gin remains fresh and flavorful for as long as possible whether unopened or opened.
